No
The summary describes a standard digital thermometer and explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found".

No
The device is a diagnostic tool used to measure body temperature, not to treat a condition.

No
The device measures body temperature, which is a vital sign. While changes in body temperature can be symptomatic of a condition, the device itself does not diagnose a specific disease or condition; it only provides a measurement. Its intended use is to "precisely measure human body temperature."

No

The device description explicitly states "Digital Clinical Thermometers, Models ACT 3020," which are hardware devices designed to measure temperature. The summary does not mention any software component as the primary or sole function.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "precisely measure human body temperature" using oral, axillary, and rectal methods. This is a direct measurement of a physiological parameter within the body, not an analysis of a sample taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue).
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform such analysis on a specimen.
  • Device Description: The description is simply "Digital Clinical Thermometers." This aligns with a device that measures temperature directly.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing samples, reagents, or any other components typically associated with IVD devices.

Therefore, the Digital Clinical Thermometers, Models ACT 3020, are considered a medical device for measuring body temperature, but not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 880.2910 Clinical electronic thermometer.

(a)
Identification. A clinical electronic thermometer is a device used to measure the body temperature of a patient by means of a transducer coupled with an electronic signal amplification, conditioning, and display unit. The transducer may be in a detachable probe with or without a disposable cover.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in part 807, subpart E of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 880.9 and the following conditions for exemption:(1) Device is not a clinical thermometer with telethermographic functions;
(2) Device is not a clinical thermometer with continuous temperature measurement functions; and
(3) Appropriate analysis and testing (such as that outlined in the currently FDA-recognized editions, as appropriate, of ISO 80601-2-56, “Medical electrical equipment—Part 2-56: Particular requirements for basic safety and essential performance of clinical thermometers for body temperature measurement,” or ASTM E1965, “Standard Specification for Infrared Thermometers for Intermittent Determination of Patient Temperature,” or ASTM E1112, “Standard Specification for Electronic Thermometer for Intermittent Determination of Patient Temperature,” or ASTM E1104, “Standard Specification for Clinical Thermometer Probe Covers and Sheaths”) must validate specifications and performance of the device.

Dear Mr. Hsieh:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements
